Colombia's Finance Ministry proposes changing reserve calculation for minimum-wage pensions
Colombia's Ministry of Finance published a draft decree to regulate coverage of minimum-wage slippage risk in minimum pensions. The proposal removes the inflation-indexed component (35% of CPI) introduced by Decree 1485 of 2025 and returns to a calculation based on average real productivity growth over the past 10 years, with a floor of 0%. According to the Ministry, this would lower the cost of annuity policies and generate a potential benefit of 4.1 trillion pesos at 2025 prices.
